The Hamilton Heights Youth Assistance Program (HHYAP) held their first annual Impact Awards, a youth recognition event. HHYAP was formed in 2014 to help strengthen youth and families through community involvement. Like other peer Youth Assistance Programs throughout Hamilton County, local volunteers develop and provide access to programs and services that promote positive growth experiences and enhance home and community relationships. HHYAP works in collaboration with the Hamilton Heights School District, Towns of Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta and the Hamilton County Superior Court.
